Glob­alTT part­nered with Trinidad & To­ba­go Restau­rant Week (TTRW) to ex­e­cute this year’s edi­tion of TTRW, start­ing with a launch event on Sep­tem­ber 29 at Rhythms “N” Brews in Gulf City.

Lisa Marie Daniel, gen­er­al man­ag­er, Fash­ion, Glob­alTT said, “The re­sponse to The Fash­ion Plate has been in­cred­i­bly en­cour­ag­ing. We want­ed to cre­ate some­thing that would al­low peo­ple to ex­pe­ri­ence fash­ion dif­fer­ent­ly, while al­so cre­at­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties for our de­sign­ers and busi­ness­es to ben­e­fit from each oth­er.”

She added, “Fash­ion and food are both pow­er­ful ex­pres­sions of our cul­ture, cre­ativ­i­ty and iden­ti­ty. Bring­ing them to­geth­er has shown us what is pos­si­ble when our cre­ative in­dus­tries col­lab­o­rate and cre­ate new ex­pe­ri­ences for au­di­ences.”

Par­tic­i­pat­ing venues in­clud­ed Hy­att Re­gency Trinidad, House of Jaipur, The Al­ley, Samu­rai Restau­rant and Kaz­za Pot and Ket­tle in Trinidad, as well as La Foun­tain and Sug­ar­bird Ter­race in To­ba­go. The ini­tia­tive fea­tured a di­verse cross-sec­tion of lo­cal fash­ion de­sign­ers and brands, in­clud­ing Pho­to­syn­the­sis De­signs, Sukha Jew­ellery, Ne­dra Wal­dron, Shaun Grif­fith Perez, Koo­tis, Os2 De­signs, Val­rea’s De­signs, Ki­mo, Bene Caribe, Ade, An­drew John Smith, Don­na La Roche, Lisa Faye Silks, Metah Jew­ellery, El­li­mac, Richard Noel, LOUD by Afiya and Nadroj.

TTRW ran of­fi­cial­ly from Sep­tem­ber 25 to Oc­to­ber 4, al­though some restau­rants have ex­tend­ed be­yond that date.

“Our part­ner­ship with Glob­alTT added an ex­tra touch of flair to TTRW 2026, mak­ing the en­tire ex­pe­ri­ence even more mem­o­rable,” said Shi­ra Mo­hammed, founder of Trinidad & To­ba­go Restau­rant Week. “The Fash­ion Plate cre­at­ed a won­der­ful op­por­tu­ni­ty to bring two vi­brant parts of our cul­ture to­geth­er and give au­di­ences some­thing new to ex­pe­ri­ence.”

In a state­ment, Glob­alTT said, “The Fash­ion Plate has since tak­en au­di­ences on a jour­ney through a se­ries of Fash­ion Show Cap­sules host­ed at par­tic­i­pat­ing restau­rants across Trinidad and To­ba­go. The ini­tia­tive has re­ceived pos­i­tive feed­back from pa­trons, de­sign­ers, and par­tic­i­pat­ing busi­ness­es, demon­strat­ing the ap­peal and po­ten­tial of bring­ing fash­ion and culi­nary ex­pe­ri­ences to­geth­er.”

The or­gan­i­sa­tion ex­plained that Fash­ion Plate forms part of Glob­alTT’s con­tin­ued ef­forts to cre­ate new op­por­tu­ni­ties for the lo­cal fash­ion in­dus­try by con­nect­ing de­sign­ers with new au­di­ences, com­mer­cial plat­forms and po­ten­tial mar­kets.

Glob­alTT said, “By tak­ing fash­ion be­yond the tra­di­tion­al run­way and plac­ing it with­in restau­rants and oth­er so­cial spaces, the ini­tia­tive cre­at­ed op­por­tu­ni­ties for pa­trons to dis­cov­er and en­gage with lo­cal de­sign­ers in an en­vi­ron­ment that was both ac­ces­si­ble and ex­pe­ri­en­tial.”

The re­lease ex­plained that while the Fash­ion Show Cap­sules are now com­plet­ed, at­ten­tion turns to the grand fi­nale of The Fash­ion Plate, which takes place at Hy­att Re­gency Trinidad tonight at 8 pm.

Glob­alTT said the grand fi­nale will bring to­geth­er lo­cal de­sign­ers with food and fash­ion en­thu­si­asts for a spe­cial show­case cel­e­brat­ing the col­lab­o­ra­tion’s suc­cess. The event will pro­vide a larg­er plat­form for lo­cal fash­ion while high­light­ing the pos­si­bil­i­ties that emerge when the fash­ion, hos­pi­tal­i­ty and culi­nary sec­tors work to­geth­er.
